Description

The Scarlet Empress (Paramount, 1934). Fine. Jumbo Window
Card (22" X 28").
Marlene Dietrich reigns supreme as the German Princess Sophia
Frederica, who became Catherine the Great after her arranged
marriage to the mad Russian Grand Duke Peter, played brilliantly by
Sam Jaffe. Delightfully seductive, Catherine, not happy with the
restrictions of her aristocratic duties, entertains herself wooing
several members of the Russian army, including the dashing John
Lodge as Count Alexi. Adding to Catherine's misery is her
overbearing mother-in-law Empress Petrovna, played by the imposing
Louise Dresser. Director Joseph von Sternberg's elaborate and
surreal set designs and lighting make this historical drama a
stunning work of art to behold. Likewise, this incredible jumbo
window card features the alluring Dietrich in all of her glory with
the piece's eye-catching illustration. Making its first appearance
at Heritage, this oversized card display signs of age, including
mild edge wear, paper lifts, and minor tears. There is a small chip
in the top right corner and the poster has staining into the
interior. Fine.
